Line 25:
*** Actually, Toriyama was not as involved with the anime as some would think. He states in an interview that he "had faith" in the anime staff. He gave the occasional filler idea, such as Yamcha being a baseball player, but not much else.
* [[Adaptation-Induced Plothole]]: Several, due to how the anime was ridiculously close to the manga at almost all times. One particularly jarring example though, happens in a filler scene at the end of the Freeza-saga: {{spoiler|After Namek has exploded, Vegeta realizes that, now that both Goku and Freeza are dead, he's the strongest fighter in the universe, and is now free to take over the world. Gohan attempts to stop him, and the two have a brief fight which ends with Vegeta being stopped by Piccolo from delivering the final blow, before he flies off on his own. This entire scene is [[Retcon|never mentioned again]], and it completely contradicts his motivations in the very next episode, where he is back with the rest of the group, completely calm, and shown to actually ''want'' Goku brought back to life so that he may fight him again and prove that he is the better fighter. Heck, he's actually the one to give them the suggestion for how to revive him!}}
** There's also a very significant difference between the manga and anime versions of Namek's explosion. In the manga, Goku is shown flying towards Frieza's ship with several Ginyu pods in sight. He finds the ship useless, flies up and says Namek's about to blow (and the view shifts to King Kai). In the anime, Goku is helplessly raging above the ship while we actually SEE the planet go up in smoke and supposedly take him with it without much doubt. Since we actually SEE his on screen death in the anime, his later explanation that he "found a pod, jumped in, hit the button and made it out of there" is certainly in line with the MANGA. As for the ANIME version, it's utter [[Canon
** One of the more infamous examples occurs in a [[Filler]] episode of the Red Ribbon Army Saga. In this episode, a "Dr. Flappe" is credited as the creator of Android 8. Years later during Dragon Ball Z, Dr. Gero is revealed as the true creator of the androids. A popular fan theory to work around this is that Dr. Flappe and Gero were partners on the android project.
* [[Adaptive Ability]]: Saiyans, Cell, and other villains to extreme degrees.
